Description
Beloved actress and New York Times bestselling author Valerie Bertinelli returns with her most indulgent cookbook yet; a collection of 100 recipes to nourish the body and the soul.
When Valerie Bertinelli turned 60, she said “Enough already!” and ended her battle with the scale for good. She stopped punishing herself for missing goals or slipping at mealtimes. She stopped counting calories. She stopped thinking of certain foods as good or bad. She quit saying no and began saying yes, finally learning how to enjoy the pure pleasure of being alive.
In short, she learned how to indulge.
With this cookbook, Valerie shares her secrets for indulging in the kitchen so her fans can start living their best, most fulfilling lives too. Whether it’s splurging on some fresh produce at the farmer’s market, cooking an extravagant steak dinner for one, or serving up an ice cream sundae bar at a dinner party, this book is a reminder that indulging can take many shapes and forms.
It will be full of delicious recipes for any hour or occasion, like:
- Fancy Tea Sandwiches
- Baby Kale with Crispy Garlic
- Sausage and Olive Cheese Bites
- Filet Mignon with Béarnaise Sauce
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Dates
Written in her familiar, unflinchingly honest style, this cookbook is a direct line to Valerie; fans will turn to it again and again when they want to spoil themselves or someone else. It’s a warmhearted permission slip to enjoy food, and more importantly, enjoy life.
